Question About Iza , Now

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

According to http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=JACA-5015 , the CD only Iza Now had a 1st press edition .

Does anyone know what's the 1st press item in this context ? Because I have a copy of Iza , Now myself & I have no idea whether or not is mine a 1st press edition or not .

Thanks

According to Arashi's official site, there was no first press bonus item for Iza, Now. All cds have a "first press" - that just means the first x-number of CDs made. After those sell out, the next batch printed is called the second press, and so on. The record company doesn't always choose to include something wit the first press.

A lot of times, the first press item will just be a piece of paper with a number on it that enters you in a contest. The prize could be getting to go to a special event or just a random item. If that's what was included, they might not list it on the official site anymore because it's expired.

ah ok thanks for the explaination but I know for One & ARASHIC , the CD only's had a 1st press in the form of 1 extra bonus track for each album in which my copies for both albums have them .

I didn't realised all this while until I was at the local HMV on Fri & I realised Aozora Pedal initally had a 1st press in the form of a digipak but at least now I know better

it's quite embarassing if you ask me *sheepishly* being kept in the dark all this while where I actually have 3 1st press ARASHI items & to only find out about it the past 2 days , it's a bit -_-'''

Actually, the bonus track on the CD only versions is on all of the CD Onlys. Not just 1st press. Arashi actually tends to only give out bonuses based on whether you buy the regular or limited edition. It's rare for them to limit bonus things to 1st press.

oh yes you got that right . I was a bit mixed up earlier on , I got mistaken & I assumed that the bonus track for the guys's albums (CD only wise) were 1st presses

they were not but it's different if it's stated so . Thanks for clarifying this with me :)
